Railroad investigation.

BosToN, May 27-The Union Paci-
fic investigation was resumed to-day
Elisha Atkins, director of the Union
Pacific had voted for consolidation.
There is very large business done by
branch lines and they are necessary to
the interests Of the road. We ought
to have a thousand miles more than
we have. Witness was of the opinion
that the Union Pacific had a promising
future before it, Winess' idea was
that the government should treat this
corporation in the same way as mer-
chants treat each other. The gov
erment should give an extention of
100 years at three per cent. Our ter
ritory all ought to be secured to us.
Asit is we are being cut to pieces by
encroachment Of wealthy rivals. If
the government should give this hun
dred years extention the only security
we could give it is a second mortgage
on the main branch and first mort
gage on the 100 miles oil branch roads.
The afternoon was devoted to exam
ination of comptroller Mirk's accounts.
1t is thought several days will be spent
on the examination.

Los ANGELES, May 2S.--A letter
from Fred Bomband to Alvin ID.
Brooke, ex-director OF the credit
Foncier, is printed here describing the
condition OF affairs at the American
colony in Topolobampo, Mexico,
which was founded under the 'direc-
ton of A, X. Owens, who held special
grant from the Mexican government,
The theory of Owens was to found
socialistic colony and II great many
Americans from all parts Of the union
have been arriving ut the experiment
tai town. The writer says: 1--WE
have been doing nothing to produce
anything and there is no management.
1t is nothing but hell. There is
nothing to eat but mush, and people
are getting full of sores, but the worst
will be when the people of the United
States quit sending money here. There
are men that have travelled two and
three hundred miles trying to get work
and cannot get it, not even as poems
at twenty-five cents day. Such land
rs the Machis tract costs in peon
labor, to clear it of thorns and cactus,
$1S an acre. These are the cheapest
contracts that have been let and as
for getting water on the company's
ground they cannot do it. They may
pump water on it with heavy ma
chinery, but that is the only way, and
there is but little water in the river
now. There are some very good
people at Vegeton and they stuck to
A. X. Owens to the very last, giving
him all the show they could. Owens
has no executive abilities whatever
but to throw money away.
hope colonists will not get to fight.
ing among themselves and kill each
other, but tell you hunger and dis
content are hard to manage" ."The writer
is very circum stantial in statements
and is very severe upon Owens. Con-
flicting statements have been rec eived
here for two months concerning the
colony but they have been of very
discouraging character.

Fatal Explosion.

NATcHEz, Miss, May 2S.-The
boiler of the Natchez cotton factory
exploded this morning, entirely de-
molishing the engine room and pack
cry above it and bursting in the walls
of the main building, causing the
roof to settle in the center. A scene
of the widest terror prevailed among
the 45O men, women and children in
the factory. A relief party was inn
mediately set to work at the debris, and
all but two sufferers, Harry Mullen
and Geo. McNeal, were soon taken
from the ruins. These two were
deeply covered with debris and relief
parties were several hours at work be-
fore reaching McNeaps body, which
was crushed to pulp. Mullen is
doubtless dead. The other dead are
A. r. Foster, Jesse Hitchcock, Ernest
Alexander, (colored). Three girls and
four men received injuries which may
result fatally. Many others were
more or less wounded. The loss is
about SAC, 600.

Excursion to Lake Coour d.Aiene.

The members of the Ladies' Guild
of the Episcopal church have made
arrangements with the Northern
Pacific road to run an excursion pas
senger train from this city to lake
Occur d'Alene and return next Sat
nrday. This Is the first railroad ex-
cursiOn ever undertaken from this
city, and as the train runs TO one Of
the most delightful spots In the
northwest, noted for its,beautiful, di.
versifled and picturesque scenery,
the mere announcement Is sufficient
to insure an immense party. Be-
sides the pleasure of the trip Gen.
Carlin, at Fort Sherman, has prom
ised the ladies to do all within his
power to make the visit pleasant for
the excursiOnists. The regular army
band will discourse music for the Oc-.
casion, while there will be dress
parade of the full force at the post,
on the beautiful grounds on which
the party cOngregate. The ladies'

still flowing with undiminshed vigor. None
Of the wells at Findlay show 'sgns of failing
but ON tho other hand the pressure in some
Of them is increasing and the volume is
larger than II was when they were first
struck.
The natural gas development in and about
Findlay has caused one OF the most remaIka
bio business excitenents OF the post Dellum
period. The great body of men who are ever
ready to embark IN new enterprises and spec
ulntion found an inviting opportunity here.

saged in real estate transactions of greater or
e>S magnitude. There. was u great deal of
speculation in farms in the gas belt, and one
agent told me he had sold the same farm ten
times. Hundreds of farmers have been made
rich, but cannot think they have gained as
much in contentment as they have In wealth.
One odd character sold his farm for S15, 900
and came to the town to live He brought
with him three strapping daughters, and this
strange quartet, in garments cut In styles
that were popular quarter Of a century ago,
wander about the streets in helpless and
hopeless sort of a way, wondering what to do
with their money now that they have got it.
The land which Senator Sherman paid $780,
900 for has advanced in three months to $780,
900 In value. The population of Findlay has
grown from 5000 TO 1900 in a year.
Probably no section Of the country has ex.
perienced IN so short a time a more remark
able awakening as the finding Of natural gas
has brought to northwestern Ohio.

Corbin = Much Needed Change to
be Msdo.
Since the opening OF navigation on
lake Coeur d'Alene and the revival
OF travel between this point and
wardner, the travelling public has
been greatly annoyed at the trans
porta ton arrangements that necessi-
tated long and tedious delay ut
Coeur d. Alene and Hauser Junction.
Trains woald only run to the juno
tion, and passengers to and from
Spokane to the mines were compelled
to lay over at Coeur dPAlene all
night. This tended to turn travel
to almost any route In preference to
the branch. The REVIEW has urged
upon the railroad company the ne
cessity OF of a change, and the mat
ter has been taken up by Mr.. ID. G.
Corbin, of the Coeur d'Alene trans
portatiOn company, who has exerted
himself to bring about the much de-
sired change of running trains daily
into and from Spokane Falls. Mr.
Corbin has labOred earnestly for
this measure and has carried on a
correspondence on the subject with
Vice President j. w. Buckley for
some time. At last Mr.. Buckley
has recognized the necessity of bet
ter transportation facilities, and ex-
pressed his intention of making a
change. This important decision Is
mostly due to Mr.. COrbin, who en-
listed himself so faithfully on the
side of this city, and the business
men as we'll as the travelling public
have that gentleman to thank for
the change. The following dispatch
to Mr.. C0rbin from Mr.. Buckley ex-
plains the present situation and 1t
may be added in this connection
that Mr.. Corbin will hasten to make
all necessary arrangements for
steamer connection so that the
change may be carried into effect
Immediately:

The WoOlen Mill,

In the issue OF yesterday the report
of the organization OF the board OF
trade contained brief reference to the
proposition made by Mr.. Walker to
erect and operate a WOODEN mill at
this point. The magnitude OF the
proposition grows as one stops to con-
slider the working of mill upon the
scale OF the one that the company Mr..
Walker represents desire to construct.
Not only is the first cost OF building
and equipping stucture of this des-
cription n matter of vast importance
To the public, but after it is once in
running order it will require scores of
operators to handle the machinery and
perform the work in connection with a
woolen mill. So important is this
proposal that the community should
bend every energy to secure this en-
terprise. Many cities on the coast
would jump at the opportunity to aid
proposition of this kind by the most
liberal donations, and no community
could better afford to extend a helping
hand than that of Spokane Falls.
However,it isunderstood that this COM
pany does not hunt location as a pc
titioner for aims, but it does ask that
fair treatment that should be accorded
10 individual or corporation. While it
would be money in the pockets of
every property owner within the cor
porate limits of this city to present to
this company site for its mill, yet
its representative does not come here
as i. supplicant for donations. Mr..
Walker has been in the city for several
weeks endeavoring to purchase land
for the purpose of locating woolen
mill However, he has in a measure
failed to meet with success on account
of prices that he considers oppressive
ly high. The unostentatiuos proceed
ings of Mr.. Walker in his search for
suitable property is a recommenda-
ton for the project for which he is
working and should insure for him and
his company the hearty corporation
of the public. In this connection 1t
NAV be added that it is not the inten-
ton to halt at single WOODEN mill

An Indian Territory Tragerdy.

GALVESTON, May 2S.-A dispatch
from Paris, Texas, to the News says:
Intelligence reached here to-day to
the effect that the body of Sheriff
Grayson Jacobs, of Lawson county,
Choctaw nation, who had been miss
ing for several days was found by the
aid of the buzzards which were de-
vouring the corpse. About 200 yards
from where the sheriff's body
was found lay the bodies
of two negroes, which had
been partly devoured by buzzards.
The discovery causes great
excitement. The sheriff's death
is a profound mystery. There is no
clue to the tragedy beyond the fact
that two desperadoes, Choctaw In-
dians, are missing and they are being
sought for.
